GolfThe golf beforethis round is doneis harder than ahole-in-one.From the driverto the putter,from the fairwayto the greenare rough and bunkertrap and waterand divotsin between.Mull again the hazardsbefore you tee it up;wood and iron,wedge and chipbefore the flag and cup.Many strokesbeyond the bogie,many snowmenbefore par,You may dreamyou’re Tiger Woods;a duffer’s what you are.Match play,stroke play,best ball,links,don’t forgetthat your game stinksbefore you bet.You’re in the weeds.You’re in the trees.You’re out of bounds.You’re wet.It’s a game of shame...gimmes aside...frustration,loss of dignityand pride,a game beyond your skill or scope.But c’est la vie,another tee.Keep your head downand hope.
